Pronouns

Pedigree Forge allows you to specify pronouns for individuals. By default, narrative reports use pronouns based on the person’s recorded sex, and pronouns are not displayed on charts. However, you can enter custom pronouns:

• Subject — e.g. he, she, they, xe, ze
• Object — e.g. him, her, them, xem, zir
• Possessive — e.g. his, her, their, xyrs, zirs
• Reflexive — e.g. himself, herself, themselves, xemself, zirself

If at least the subject and object pronouns are entered, they will appear on family charts and be used in narrative reports.

Enter pronouns on the Naming tab of the Current Person Other Detail dialog. Tooltips above each field indicate which form of pronoun to enter.

This feature is designed primarily for modern people where pronoun usage is important. For historical ancestors, pronouns are optional and need not be specified unless relevant.
